A Venaooter tells ue be found Green mountain views In eastern Culm, It la true that In Ha element one landscape Is very like another; there are only a few types of scenery, aa there are only a few types of physiognomy. And yet so vivid Is the response of the mlud to a single novel feature that It Is seized upon at once by the olmerver and re members! aa the Imracterlstic thing. Highly diverged as it la, It Is possi ble to ludliate ly the Uw of a very few details tin rtmru'-terialli! sceuery of Europe, as I found wheu I traveled through It.

I tet! this for luyaeff whin crossing the frontier of (ieriiiuny into Ituxsla, of Ruaalu into i'ohiud, of Austria Into Germany again. Beyond the Nlcmen the broad armed windmills grew scarcer, the storks gradually disap peared from the fields, the peasants awn at work thereIt waa the harvest seasonwore red and blue and mauve blouses Instead of the dull German col ors. The Acids themselves seemed wet ter, the cropa scantier and the methods of handling them more primitive. That was Russia. Traveling went ward a few weeks later, the bullions and gnrMi church dome, with their glittering Greek crosses, dropped below the horizon, and spired Gothic churches, surmount ed by the Latin cross, took their places. The straggling wooden villages, with their shingled roof and unpaved dirt streets, for nil the world like a town of the American went, gave way to compact little gray hamlets, the given met on their thatched roofs telling of a more indent occupancy. The fields again showed careful and Intelligent husbandry, aud lu tbo towna at the railroad atatlona I saw caps, long ga bardlnes, alcuder figures and bearded anaemic faces of the Semitic type. That waa Tolaod. ' A fortnight later I was riding over a billy but smiling country, with Til lages every half mile, their brown tiled, white willed cottages covered with grapevines snd set among fruit trees; wtth neat little railroad ata tlona and beer gardens about them; with straw hatted women taking in the late crops from the fields; with yellow monasteries crowning the hills and shovel hatted priests lu the foreground, it needed no divination to discover that this was an Austrian, not a Ger man, landacuM. Every distinctive line in English acenery-and Talne thinks every dls tliictlve line In English literature was written by the moist climate. It gives the turf and foliage their dense green, leads a water course through every field, fringes the brooks with shrub bery, bathes the landscape In a soft and broodlug atmosphere, robs tt alto gether of that daguerreotype sharpness which Invests the landscapes of Ameri ca and makes auy nature poem by an Englishman a mlsut for the new world. The aun shines upon Britain through a cloud. When I first crossed to France, after living some months In London, the tiling that Impressed me above all else was the perfect sunshine that flooded the fields." It got into my notebook ns a new thing.. It Is the only dllTorelice worth speaking of be tween an F.ngllsh and a Norman land scape, If you except the mistletoe clumps In the forks of the Norman trees. The people and the villages are much alike. I entered Italy over the Brenner pass from the Tyrol. The transition Is breathless with the swiftness of the change from pine to palm, dramatic with the memories of the African aud northern hordes that have stood ou that mountain wall and seen Italy at their feet For a Tyrolese landscape It suffices to streak the farther hills wtth anow, place a village of wide eaved cottages, low roofed and covered wtth atones. In the foreground, have a Jolly peasant In too brief trousers swinging his bat at jou from the hillside and fill the air with the sound of running water "and murmuring of innumerable bees." For an Italian landscape at least for the Lombard laudscapes, which I know the best you must have the grapevines hanging In festoon from the mulberry trees, the corn standing between the trees and the blue, awlft water from the Alps mov ing along the river courses or running through the trenches. You should have red tiled villas, tall, square church tow ers; fragments of ruined city walls, the stiff forma of the cedar and the Lom bardy poplar and "the long white road" of the Latin poets, these and the eter nal gold of aunahlne which declares that, like their children, the gods love ItaJy.-C.

Bought aa food, water is a tolerably upenalve luxury. In aeveral Instances It costs something like flSO a glass, ac cording to the estimates of II. J. Ilolmea In Pearson's. Let us begin with breakfast .Look at that loaf of bread. To all apiiearsnce It Is solid enough. But It Is not When It came Into the bands of Uie baker as wheat floor It contained water only to the extent of 17 per cent In working up the materials into dough, by kneading and other manipu lation and In baking a great change takes place, and the quantity of water baa more than doubled. The wheat flour lonf contains nearly 40 per cent of water. Curiously enough. Its value aa a food is Increased thereby. The per centage of water fn the crust hi about half that In the soft Inside. " "Cured" pork does not contain a large proportion of ver. In fact wherever there Is a good deal of fatty matter there Is also a scarcity of mois ture. Ko the man who enjoys bis slice of breakfast bacon may comfort him self with the reflection that he Is get ting fairly solid value for bis money, becstiHe bacon contains only 22 per cent of water. Fresh eggs, on the other band, are composed of no less than C5 per cent of water. The best dairy made butter, no mat ter bow carefully prepared, contains a comparatively large percentage of wa ter. Out of 1,1500 samples of butter ex amined by well known authorities a small number contained over 16 per cent of water. The larger number con tained between 11 and 13 per cent Carelessly manufactured or adulter ated butter often contains much more water than is permissible by law, and the breakfast table may Include a sup ply of butter containing aa much as 20 per cent of water. It Is only to be expected that milk, owing to its origin, should vary consid erably In Its composition. Much de pends on the health and surroundings Of the animal yielding It. It la Interesting to know that morn ing milk as It comes from tbe cow is by no mcanx as nourishing ns the even ing supply. There Is more water In the former. 'Hie dully iiai-t of milk, even ill iU purest nt.;te. contains an average of S7.H pt cent of water. The choicest fish contains the largest terceiitiii;e of water. Thus turbot and sole are credited with 78 per cent, salmon 75 per cent while the common er Inhabitants of the deep blue sea are content with from 40 to 00 per cent aa ha the case of thhomely herring. "As cool aa a cucumber" la a house hold term. Tbe coolness Is easily ex plaiaed. Cucumbers are almost entire ly composed of water that Is, 95 per cent or over 7.4 per cent more than la contained In milk, which Is Itself a liq uid, lettuce must not be forgotten. Here Is a further Instance of how little substance may be In an apparent solid, for the cabbage lettuce holds 02 per cent of water. It will be seen that most of tbe good things of life are largely composed of water, but It Is better for us that this Is so. Nature knows more about our di gestive powers than we know our aelves, and she has designed her prod uctsfish, flesh, fowl and fruit with so cunning a hand that the water con tained In each Is essential Food containing very little water In its composition Is not, as a rule, good to eat uutll a suitable process of cooking has rendered tt safe by adding a fur ther supply of water to It and boiling, as Is well known, is the process that renders our food most wholesome and easy of digestion. KISSING AND BLUE LAWS. 1 FlaerraaU Breach ot tha P.aea Com mitted la 1690. In the Judicial records of the colony f New Haven, now the state of Con Aectlcut the following entry, made In the court of the governor of the colo ny, appears regarding a flagrant breach of the peace committed May 1, 1600: "Sarah Tuttle went to Mistress Mur ine's house for some thread mi Mis tress Murliue bid her go to her daugh ters In the other room. Whereupon her son, Jacob Murllne, came In and took up or took away Sarab'a gloves. She desired blm to give her the said gloves, which he answered he would do If she would give blm a kysse. Upon which they sat down together, his arm being around ber walste and her arm upon hla shoulder or about hla necke, and he kyssed her and she kyssed him or they kyssed one another for about the space of half an hour, which Marian Murllne now In court affirmed to be so. "Jacob was asked what he had to say to these things, to which he an swered that he thought that Sarah had with Intent let fall her gloves when he came Into the room and that he took them up and told her he would give her them if so be that she would kysse him. But Sarah hereupon testified that she did not let her gloves fall with in tent Further said Jacob that he tooke her by the band and they both set down upon a chest, but whether he kyssed her or aha kyssed htm he knows not for. he never thought of tt since until Mr Raymond spoke to him at Mannatoa and told that he had .not layde It to heart as he ought But hereupon testified Sarah that she did not kysse him, but being questioned would say not as1 to whether he had kyssed her or no. "Mr, Tuttle testified that Jacob had amJearored ta steal away, bls.daugliigr'1 sffectlonsr But fiefeupon Sarah testi fied that be had not so stolen her said affections. The governor told Harsb that her misdeed Is the greatest; that a virgin should be so told In tbe pres ence of others to carry It as she bad done; for though that part of the kyss Ing Is denied yet rmu h Is proved. Sarah professed that she was sorry that she bad carried It so sinfully and foolishly, which she saw to be hateful. She hoped that God would help her to carry It better for time to come. Tbe govern or also told Jacob that his carriage hath been very evO and sinful and to make such a light matter of It aa not to think of It doth greatly aggravate. "Whereupon tba court declared that we have beard in the publlque ministry that It Is a thing to be lamented that young people abould so misconduct themselves. As for Barah, her mis deeds are very great that she should carry It In such an uncivil. Immodest manner as bath been proven. And for Jacob, his carriage hath been very cor rupt and alnful, such as brings re proach upon his family and place. The sentence therefore concerning them hi that they shall pay either of tbem as a fine 20 shillings to the colony."-Ch!ca-go N". . Taar Watch la at Caaiaaaa. "Moat men who own a good watch," aatd a Jeweler, "think they know all about It They have the number fixed In their memory In case It Is stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty other watches with their eyes shut But how many men know that their watch hi a compaaa and will tell north from south as accurately aa It will tell the time of day? Stanley, the explorer, did not know It until he had groped hit way through the dark conti nent and met a Belgian sailor on the coeat Every watch la a compaaa. If you point the hour hand to tbe aun, the south la exactly halfway between the bonr and the figure XII on the dial Suppose, for Instance, H Is 4 o'clock. Point the hand Indicating 4 to the aun and II on the witch la ex actly south. If it la S o'clock, point the hand Indicating 8 to the aun and the figure X on the dial is due south. No man need get lost if be carries a watch." Maratalas; aa4 Ferasts.
